Previously: "Come on Pan-ay," Trunks mocked, crawling to the center of the bed." Just a quick peek. That's all I'm asking, come on, please? I am your best friend, slash, husband." \ \ "I guess you're right," Pan sighed, untying her robe." Just a quick three second peek and that's it, got it?" \ \ Refusing to let Trunks see her hands shake, Pan opened her robe. \ One second before Pan could open her robe, Trunks saw the T.V screen come on behind her. Three familiar faces leaned close to the screen smushing their lips, noses, and cheeks against of them had a different expression, none of them good.
Divorce Me Not

Trunks had no idea that Gohan knew Instant Transmission, until the angry father disappeared from the T.V screen and appeared in their suite. Pan quickly closed her robe, and Trunks barely managed to hold back his disappointment.
"Papa," Pan turned to face her father. She paled seeing that her mom and Bulma were watching them from the T.V screen." This looks totally wrong, but I can explain!"
Gohan glared at Trunks, stomped into the bathroom and came back, throwing a small washcloth at Trunks.
Trunks stupidly stared at the washcloth, not understanding what Gohan wanted him to do with it. Gohan closed his eyes and tilted his head back. Pan knew he was having a hard time coping with their arranged marriage, and was trying his best to stay calm. She crossed the room and sat in one of the chairs in front of the T.V.
Trunks wiped his face with the washcloth.
" Do everyone a favor and cover that up!" Gohan practically begged, almost pulling out his hair in frustration.
Shrugging, Trunks sat down at the end of the bed and placed the washcloth over his naked lap. He didn't understand what the big deal was. Pan was his wife now, it wasn't a crime for her to see her husband naked. If anyone had the right to be angry, it was Trunks. Pan, his mother-in-law, father-in-law, the hot women outside, and even his own mother had seen him naked! Since waking up, Trunks hasn't had the chance to see anyone naked at all!
"This sucks." Trunks mumbled.
Pan and Trunks stared at each other from across the room while their parents argued back and forth.
"I agree with Gohan." Videl, the only one who wasn't shouting at the top of her lungs, said." We shouldn't let Goku and Vegeta bully these kids into marrying each other because of some stupid bet."
"It's too late for that! They're already married!" Bulma reminded them, pointing at the recently married couple from her side of the screen, while pushing Videl out of the way." They even agreed on their own terms!"
"One year is too long, and too short." A dark shadow casted over Gohan's face." These kids are treating marriage like it's some type of game. It's supposed to be a lifelong committment with the one you love."
Pan and Trunks glanced from Gohan to study each other in a different way. Did they love each other? They shook their heads, coming to the same conclusion: they weren't sure.
"I guess your right."
Trunks smirked, hearing how hard it was for his mother to admit she was wrong.
" This is the stupidest thing Vegeta and Goku have made us do since the pie eating contest of '08."
Videl clapped her hands." Okay, so we all agree that Trunks and Pan should get a divorce as quickly as possible?"
Everyone nodded except for the two teens in question.
"That wouln't be a good idea." Vegeta said, eating something as he stood behind the couch where Bulma and Videl sat.
"Butt out Vegeta!" Bulma snapped." We wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for you."
Gohan narrowed his eyes, sensing that there was something Vegeta wasn't telling them." What do you mean it's not a good idea?"
Vegeta smirked." If you don't like having my son naked in front of Pan, then you're really not going to like what I have to say next," Vegeta pushed Videl and Bulma away so he took up the full screen. He met gazes with Pan, Trunks, and Gohan before continuing." Both of you survived the wedding, but the ritual isn't over yet. In order to complete the ritual, you need to consummate your marriage before sunrise tomorrow, or else both of you will die."
Pan frowned." What does 'consummate' mean?"
Trunks stood, picking up a large flower pot to take the place of the washcloth that slid to the carpet, and jutted his chin out towards the door." It means we need to buy some clothes at the gift shop and have some fun on the island before Gohan makes us go home."
Pan's face turned red, already imagining the unwanted attention they'll get. " Give me the money and I can buy the clothes for you."
"What's wrong Pan? Are you jealous that other women will see me naked?" Trunks teased, hoping to distract Pan away from the topic of 'consummate the marriage or die.' It worked. Pan's face turned red, and she quickly left the if she walked ahead of him people wouldn't think they were together.
Trunks scowled hatefully at Vegeta. He wasn't going to force his younger, innocent, best friend to grow up before she's ready to. All his life he'd guarded Pan over the years, ready to protect her from the boys that wanted to use her or hurt her in any way. He never dreamed he'd one day be the bad guy.
"I'll protect her," Trunks promised. Gohan barely blinked, hearing that his daughter might die had put him in a deep state of shock." I wont let her die, and I wont sleep with her for that reason. She deserves better than that."
"Don't be a fool." Vegeta fumed, irritated with his son's defiance.
It was hard not to feel a little foolish when he finally caught up to Pan in the lobby. She pretended not to know him while they browsed the clothing racks in the gift shop. His front may have been partially covered, but that didn't stop people from taking pictures of his butt.
"This is probably your karma for sleeping with women for their bodies." Pan chirped, holding up a colorful tie dye dress.
Trunks rolled his eyes, clutching the khaki shorts and tropical shirt close to his body while observing a pair of sunglasses with dark lenses and silver framing. For now, he wouldn't think about consummating their marriage. They were just two friends on a tropical island with no parents, and the strong desire to have fun.
